An Observational Study of the Role of Adiponectin and Vita-min D in Pediatric Asthma and Obesity
Background/Objectives: The co-occurrence of asthma and obesity presents a significant clinical challenge, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Reduced adiponectin and vitamin D levels have been associated with both conditions, suggesting that their potential modulatory roles warrant further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate whether vitamin D and adiponectin levels differ among pediatric groups defined by their asthma and obesit…
Perceiving the Invisible Threat: Are Allergic Individuals Aware of the Health Risks of Micro- and Nanoplastics
Background: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread environmental contaminants with growing evidence linking them to adverse health effects, including progression and worsening of allergic diseases. As allergies are rapidly increasing among youth (affecting almost 30% of children), this demographic represents a vulnerable population facing emerging environmental threats. Since no prior study has investigated MNP risks perceptions in an alle…
Age-, Sex- and Region-Specific Patterns in Sensitization Rates to Food Allergens and Food Allergy Prevalence in Croatian Children: The H2020 IMPTOX and ERDF P4 Study Findings
Background/Objectives: Food allergy (FA) is a substantial health burden in children. FA is often associated with malnutrition and malabsorption, due to restrictive food avoidance diets, which can significantly impair the patient's and their family's quality of life. To this date, population-based data combining sensitization and clinical allergy remain limited. This study aimed to assess the patterns of sensitization rates to food and food allerg…
Predicting Treatment Outcomes Using Explainable Machine Learning in Children with Asthma
Asthma in children is a heterogeneous disease manifested by various phenotypes and endotypes. The level of disease control, as well as the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory treatment, is variable and inadequate in a significant portion of patients. By applying machine learning algorithms, we aimed to predict the treatment success in a pediatric asthma cohort and to identify the key variables for understanding the underlying mechanisms. We predic…
Latentna tuberkulozna infekcija u zdravstvenih radnika povezana je s alergijama i senzibilizacijom na uobičajene inhalacijske alergene
Health care workers (HCW) are at increased risk of a latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) due to occupational exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In order to investigate the mutual influence of a TH1 type immune response caused by LTBI and T helper 2 (TH2) type immune response caused by allergy, we conducted a study examining the prevalence of common inhaled allergen sensitization in the HCW population with different levels of exposure to tub…
Modifiable Risk Factors for Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) Allergy and Disease in Children: A Case-Control Study
Ragweed allergy is a major public health concern. Within Europe, ragweed is an introduced species and research has indicated that the amounts of ragweed pollen are likely to increase over Europe due to climate change, with corresponding increases in ragweed allergy. To address this threat, improving our understanding of predisposing factors for allergic sensitisation to ragweed and disease is necessary, specifically focusing upon factors that are…
